Paddy Power Poker Provides Full Year Leaderboard Battle

Frequent online poker players now have the chance to take home part of the $100,000 prize pool just made available by Paddy Power Poker as part of Paddy's Tournament Championship Leaderboard Battle, its latest promotional series.

Paddy's Tournament Championship is tailored toward Paddy Power Poker members who regularly play at sit-and-go competitions and multi-table tournaments. Those who compete in these types of games will be ranked on a weekly basis, their performance from the last seven days determining their leaderboard position. Each of the top thirty players will receive a cash reward with the top one hundred taking home a handful of extra leaderboard points for the month. The highest ranked competitor on the weekly leaderboards will be awarded with $100. Monthly editions of the new leaderboard battles will provide the top player with $500, the best 75 with a share of $2,000 and the highest 150 members with yearly leaderboard points. The ultimate form of Paddy's Tournament Championship, the yearly leaderboard, is set to give out $50,000 in cash, Champion Rewards and more. The most skilled player of the year will also be provided with a 2014 Irish Open prize package valued at $6,000.

The official statement released by Paddy Power Poker said that Paddy's Tournament Championship should appeal to its members as "poker players are a very competitive bunch" who will be eager to compete for $100,000 in total cash prizes. The Leaderboard Battle has already begun and is set to continue for the rest of the year.
